It's called "Whistler." Nice name, LoL! Bill's thought, "Hmm... The name
'Windows' is getting old. If we change the name, people will think it is
better!" Anyway, I read the Whistler is supposed to be a combination of the
NT kernel with the standard Windows 9x/ME functions. A few sites got their
hands on a beta-version of Whistler and tested it with tons of games, and it
did ok. Remember it is based on NT, which isn't geared towards games too
much. But also remember that NT supports multiple processor. Try playing UT
on a dual-1.5Ghz machine! Of course, you could always do that in Linux.
